WHAT A PERFORMANCE! Bambie Thug "Doomsday Blue" FIRST SEMI FINAL EUROVISON Performance Breakdown 

Our beloved witch delivered without exaggeration the best Eurovision performance in history - Bambie, every Goth and alternative soul in the world is insanely proud of you and you're the most heartwarming voice I could ever imagine to represent us! 🇮🇪🧙‍♀️👑🖤 This boundary-breaking show is theatrical extravaganza, a storytelling experience in 3 minutes, a trance-like journey that casts a spell over the viewer just like Bambie is evoking enchantment on stage - and on top of that they are a once-in-a-lifetime performer, "Doomsday Blue" is an addictively refreshing song without any limits, and we get to see a staging that doesn't only captivate the dark souls who feel drawn to witchcraft anyway, but also the masses who have no choice but crowning the witch! Bambie is not only an artist who renders me speechless on a daily basis and is my biggest inspiration these days, but also an addictively charming human being who can make countless hearts jump for joy with their infectious smile. This is a performance that will be eternally engraved in the history books, and I will rewatch it over and over again until my last breath on earth!🖤✨️🌙 All soulmates here, let's CROWN THE WITCH on Saturday (May 11th)!⛥🇮🇪🧙‍♀️👑🖤 The final will take place at 9 PM Central European Time / 1 PM Calgary Time / 3 PM New York Time / 12 PM California Time and will also be broadcasted live on YT! People from all over the world can vote for Bambie: Either via phonec*all and SMS in the participating countries, or using the EurovisionApp from all non-participating countries! Make sure to vote 20 times with each device you have - this way you can vote 40, 60 or 80 times per person! And tell all your friends and family about this special opportunity all of us Goths, metalheads, alternative minds and queer people have now! 🦇🏳️‍⚧️🌙 What is haunting me at night and day is that this easily exceeds everything people considered a Eurovision performance before - Bambie is setting new standards that will change Eurovision for decades to come. Of course "Doomsday Blue" works as a song and is travelling through an insane amount of genres and Bambie's vocals are on point no matter if they're dancing ballet or defeating the toxic boyfriend with an inferno of screams and in the middle of a firestorm, but the one aspect that makes me crazy in the most positive way is that this show has cinematic qualities and almost feels like a movie! While other contestants are satisfied with simply singing a song or repeating the same dance breaks over and over again, Bambie is combining all existing types of art to create a mesmerizing mélange of genreless dark art, theatrical drama, elegiac dance and visual grandeur... If someone would have told me before, I wouldn't have believed that such a performance is even possible. But what becomes clear is that you just need the right creative people in the right place to make history! I have never seen something like this before: Bambie will rise from an independent artist to a world star.😍 And I couldn't be happier because we share the same dreams and values! I definitely won't take any rest until the witch is crowned!🇮🇪🧙‍♀️👑🖤🌙

You’re right to compliment the camera people. This is some of the best staging and camera work I’ve ever seen at Eurovision

Not me as a 41 year old Irish woman getting emotional over the Eurovision for the first time since Riverdance was the interval act in 1994. Crown the Witch!!

Bambie has the best stage performance I have ever seen on any eurovision...LOVE from Norway

I've never was so strangely proud of being Irish

6th in the Jury vote 6th in the Public vote 6th Overall The Witch was crowned. I love how she gave the crown of thornes to Switzerland when they won. It was a great touch.

The best staging in ESC history. It’s so dramatic and gorgeous! Hoping for top 5 on Saturday.

Eurovision should just crown the witch. She'll be getting my vote.

This is how you tell an hour long story in 3 minutes !!! This is amazing ! Win or lose this lady will be a star !!!

At the end of the performance Bambi Thug says - ‘A thousand thanks to you’ in the Irish language - Gaeilge. ‘Go raibh míle maith agat.’

Bambie's own creative team put together everything : the camerawork, lighting, props, graphics on the LED screen etc. This is why it's head and shoulders the best staged entry this year.

I remember when this was first a possibility for Eurovision and everyone HATED it and made fun of it, glad the vision came together - the performance is great.

The sheer talent it takes to put on a stage performance like that is amazing! Even with the music aside. All together it was like a live music video. She's going places regardless of the results of the contest im sure

That “ yeeah” with the strobe dance, hits hard every time.

12 points for Bambie from Finland!

Crown the Witch ☘️ 🇮🇪 ❤️ 🧙‍♀️ ✨️ 🖤

After reading the history of Ireland from people now i fully understand this performance. This is fucking amazing!!! This is the first time i am speechless after Maneskin 2021. CROWN THE WITCH, 12 points from North Macedonia

Wasnt the staging out of this world! Kudos to all involved in this artistry

She has some ancient Irish text in Ogham on her face which simply says "Ceasefire"

This has to be the best performance I’ve ever seen on Eurovision. And I’ve watched this for 30 years

she must have practiced so hard to get her angles for the camera so on point. so much work went into this.

She must win, there is no excuses guys! She got my vote!

Iv must have watched it 50 times since lastnite😮

Wow wow Ireland! Greetings from Serbia!❤️

She was absolutely fantastic. My jaw was on the floor. And its not music i usually like. But she was phenomenal. Ireland to win 🇮🇪

The camera and stage work is insane it makes this performance probably one of the best I’ve ever seen on Eurovision :)

The camera work top class, Sweden doing great job with all acts actually, Give our Bambi a vote, we,ve been down longer than the Titanic, lol

Crown the Witch 😍🇮🇪👑

The Sam Raimi Evil Dead camera zooms….so good.

Exquisite from start to finish. CROWN THE WITCH!! 💚🇮🇪💚

I have watched this so many times now and I never noticed the fingernail keys. Great reaction man

They didn't win Eurovision but they were crowned that night all over the world. 👑

It was like a short film! If anyone is wondering what she said at the end.. “go raibh mile maith agat” It’s irish for thank you very much , but it’s meaning is may there be a thousand goodnesses by you

Best performance !!!

I’m so glad Bambie stepped up and brought this to us to select in February at national final, I was so excited and relieved that something with such artistic depth was on the table. I’m so glad now they’ve been afforded the stage they clearly deserve. Pretty sure winning is out of the question on Saturday but doesn’t matter, I hope Bambie does great things from here on out. Yay for Eurovision

I'm 55 and though my favourite band has always been Coil I watched over 40 ESCs. Never seen such a powerfull, intense act before in the ESC . 12 points and lots of love from Belgium for Bambie. I really hope the witch get crowned.

I’m graduating with a Tv and film set design degree this summer and clips like this get me so excited to start working in the industry. Serious props to the graphics and camera guys. Thanks for showing the importance of a good film crew.

What a glow up, the staging, angles etc are all designed by bambie and their team, with very talented camera people being able to execute it to perfection. Bambie and the Irish broadcaster have a limited budget but just with intensity, acting, vocals, LED and camera work it looks high budget 👏🏻😊

Croatia and Ireland are my favorites. Also, this is my favorite europerformance ever!

We are SO SO SO PROUD of Bambie win or finish in the top five, they are OUR winner for sure, this performance was just totally jaw dropping, mystical, magical, beautiful and AMAZING!!!! The camera work, both of them performing, all perfect!!! Sadly Eurovision is a touch behind the times and when it comes to Jury votes I don't think this will get the credit it deserves and there are other great songs, if EVERYONE could vote in the rest of the world vote it would be amazing!!! We need the votes! CROWN THE WITCH!!!!! Love you Bambie.....from Ireland xoxox

Thank you for understanding the art & beauty of this genius performance. So proud 👑👑🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

It's insanely good, I keep watching it. What a show! Bambie is incredibly talented, been watching their videos on their RU-vid channel, there's some great stuff.

Ok children - go play with your toys in the next room . The grown ups need to watch this ...... freckin hell - it's like something out of an episode of AHS .... big massive standout performances..... this could win ☘️

The guy in charge of set desing and production is only 22.

Thank you soooo much for your appreciation of the arts and a great reaction. An uniquely amazing creative artistic performance, an actual masterpiece, Ireland's Bambi 12 points

Crown the witch... What a performance 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮

This is one of the best reaction videos I've seen to this performance - and I have looked at a lot of them!

What a Wow ❤

proud of her too.. Much loved!!!!!!!!!!!

Espero poder votar desde Chile 🇨🇱 por Bambie! Realmente una obra de arte!

Lets vote for her ❤ She deserves it! #crownthewitch

Hi Ireland 🇮🇪

As a huge fan of Eurovision and seeing my fellow Americans getting into it and seeing how phenomenal some of these performances can be makes me so happy!

They’re an amazing artist . I love everything about this performance 🎭

Brilliant absolutely brilliant hopefully it will win the competition on Saturday night great reaction too from the wolff

This is the most creative performance I've seen with Eurovision in a very long time! Impressive vocals, costuming and music. The other contenders don't quite move me like she does. I hope she wins!

Love that’ Bambi thanked the audience in the Irish language at the end 🇮🇪 ☘️ this just blew me away , win for Éire Bambi Thug ,. CROWN THE WITCH 👑🧛🏻‍♀️ , Barróga Hugs . Love your review 👍🏻

Would be amazing if Bambie wins. Watched this live tonight, just wow 😮

You dropped your jaw on the floor

The best best artist in all history of e v so perfect perfolance

I loved this performance and your reaction ❤❤

Her last words were in irish saying thank you very much 😊

I have heard this before, and it's not something I would usually listen to but it's kind of a Banger. Great show womanship. Great performer.

Stunning performance! I love their make up: the Celtic spirals on their forehead/the metalwork on their costume and the ogham writing down their face. Never seen that before, very cool. Also, love your idea of the nest. My “reach” interpretation was that they were invoking the Morrigan with crow feathers.

We loved!! Now we have to vote!!

in my opinion babie thug has the best song/show of 2024 eurovision... they actually had something to look at, unlike most others

This is hands down the best entry in the history of Eurovision. If you don't believe me, watch it again. And again. And again. You'll see what I mean.

Your reactions in this video are my exact reactions the first time I saw the performance. Goosebumps all day. She got all of my votes.

They just need to crown the witch already! Best performance of any kind I've seen in a looooong time!

Never heard of Bambie Thug before ESC but I quite dig this. They also did a very powerful cover of the Cranberries' Zombie on the Eurovision channel that I'd definitely recommend checking out.

Had a chance to vote for her on Saturday's final and my votes didn't go to waste as they formed into points.

if you love this you will love the artist Poppy.

The camera work is like the performance spectacular, best reaction vid I've seen so far congrats from Dublin 🇮🇪

You said you were getting so many goosebumps just as I was getting ripple after ripple of goosebumps. I really felt it.

So cool that the circle of candles is above the "crown the witch" text - looks just like a crown from that angle. very creative camera work, you never noticea glimpse of the rigging crew!

Crown The Witch!!!!! The best performance by far!!!!!! She is my pick and I will be voting for her through the Rest Of World vote!

Bambie is an instant sensation and queer icon. ❤ This was one of the best live performances ever. Give this artist ALL the moneys for production value and whatever they need to make whatever they want. Their music video is also totally bonkers. Love Bambie Thug.

you're reaction was so precious! Felt exactly the same!!! FUCKING LOVED IRELANDs ENTRY!!!!

I am so stunned and exhilarated by this wonderful, unique and innovative performance! It's so much more than just a song on so many levels! 😍 The song and video are already brilliantly creative, expressive and enchanting in the first place and this theatrical spectacular is bringing the whole thing to life in a way I could never have imagined, it really is one of the most epic things I have ever witnessed and I can't even find words sufficient enough to describe the spellbinding magic! 🖤✨ There are so many amazing elements and extremely cool touches combined in this performance, which showcase Bambie Thug's exceptional talent, versatility and passion, and the attention and thought put into each and every detail is incredible and contributes to the whole story of the piece! 🌕 I also really love how the colours of the second outfit are those of the transgender flag! It's so exciting that such a beautiful soul as Bambie Thug is representing alternative and queer people, raising awareness and acceptance, giving people who are different a voice and generally radiating love and togetherness, because this is exactly what the world needs a whole lot more of! ❤️ The most fantastic performance I have ever seen, by an amazing person and group of people who have all worked so hard which absolutely shows! No wonder this awesome art and person are currently captivating the hearts and minds of people all over the world! 💜🌙 CROWN THE WITCH!! 👑🧙🏻‍♀️

yes

Ireland best of the best 2024 Winner 🇨🇮🏆

Foirfeacht Bambie! ❤

Nemo (Switzerland singer who won) and Bambie became great friends during Eurovision, and Nemo wore Bambie's crown when they went back on stage to perform after winning. So yeah, Bambie's crown was on the winner's podium. #CrownTheWitch

Tommy i honestly was looking out for your views after Tuesday !! From a total outsider, to one of the greatest stagings of any performances in many, many years. Chilling, compelling and provocative, many peoole are calling it one of the best hard rock type songs ever at the contest.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful and enthusiastic reaction! ❤ Your in-depth knowledge and appreciation is incredible

as an irish my fav song is ukraine's but i'm so incredibly proud of the work ireland put into this, what a performance!!

As a 47 year old Irish woman this is INCREDIBLE among being 6 years younger and moaning like you’re 90 ffs 🤦 😂😂🎉

Bambie Thug! Favourite eurovision entry this year!!! YOU SHOULD REACT TO NORWAY TOO!!!

Anyone that says this is not Irish doesn't know our history. We were a pagan people and yes Halloween was from Ireland. long before the fiddle and whistle music which is also fantastic. Bambie Thug just brought us back in our history. Also anyone that dislikes this because they think she is a witch then you need to check yourself and watch your back 😝

Let's crown the witch! 👑🧙🇮🇪

great vid and humble thanks at the end. biggup

Keys in the nails are a symbol of Palestine. I loved it!

Unfortunately there are haters in this , thinking its teal magic LOL but Bambi needs your votes , Croatia , Swiss, and Ukraine are all ahead . Eurovision needs something different. Voting is worldwide please vote for Ireland . The artistry needs to be commended

my win

What a production, brilliant from camera work, costume, make up, choreography, sound lighting and an amazing set. Crown The Witch 🇮🇪🇮🇪 PS I'm not trying to be smart but Bambie goes by the pronouns Them and They. Love to all and let's win this!! 🖤🖤⚡️⚡️🇮🇪🇮🇪

You have to listen to Bambie's song Tsunami. HOLY - FUCK!

Seeing their trans flag representation outfit at the end really melted my heart such an awesome song from a previously unknown to me trans artist.

Voting doesnt happen until after all performances on Saturday (night european time.) Voting can be done from all over the world now.

Subscribed to your channel, love what you're doing. I really got into it with you and seeing your expressions?? Priceless! You didn't even notice first time round the feather costume vanished!!?? Brilliant piece of work 🖤🖤⚡️⚡️🇮🇪🇮🇪

Matt Williams i hope i have his name right is the male dancer and choreographer, the camera work staging by 22 year old male from spain and of course Bambi thug. This is a magic trio xx
